Small Con, Big Fun!

T-MODE 2016
Date & Location To Be Announced

T-MODE is a fun size Anime, Gaming and Japanese Pop Culture convention celebrating the fusion of anime, video games, music, cosplay, manga, fashion and all things otaku! We aim to be the pulse of Japanese Pop Culture in the Washington, DC area. We want to bring Japan closer to you.

So why a small con? It's simple. PEOPLE. T-MODE is a lot less intimidating to connect with more people who share your passion. It's easier to meet new people, run into friends you already know, and enjoy a unique community-focused environment where you feel safe being yourself. Trade long lines for lifelong friends. Have Fun at T-MODE with Anime, Gaming & Japanese Pop Culture Fans Just Like YOU!

"For such a small con, I had the best time. I enjoyed the shenanigans I took part in and loved the fact that no one was lost in the crowd. I made more new friends at T-MODE than I have at any other con. I loved that I got to just hang out with the guests like they are normal people. And the staff are down to earth and chill. Yeah every con has its hiccups but T-MODE had none. And that made my experience more enjoyable."

Rachel Perry, T-MODE Attendee

"A fantastic intimate con that really knows how to make everyone feel welcome and have a good time."

Sean Daugherty, T-MODE Attendee

Gerardo Ramirez, T-MODE Panelist

"A great intimate convention ran by really fun and nice people."

Greg Miller, T-MODE Attendee

"Even though this is a small con, it's still tons of fun! They have interesting panels that are not over crowded so you really get a chance to interact with the speakers, the arcade room is an awesome blast from the past, and overall it's a great con to hang out with old friends and make new friends! :)"
